I saw this fabulous idea on Reddit: a Postcard Protest Campaign. And it looks like Indivisible has picked it up, so go RSVP today!
I’m a busy mom, but I am watching my country burn and I need to resist the authoritarian coup. This Postcard Protest Campaign is an easy way for busy people to take a small action (that adds up to big action!) that fits into their busy schedules. I wish I could make every protest and rally, but phone calls and letters are what I can do right now. We can only do what we can do, so do what you can! Every little action contributes to the battle. Everything counts. Please, join in.
Let’s queue up millions of postcards addressed to The White House and our federal representatives. Cover them with our disapproving messages (see below) and send them at once on MARCH 15, 2025.
To help with this campaign, I have created several print-at-home postcard templates you can download to create at home along with a tutorial video to show you how to do it.
What you need:
- The templates – go here to download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12UNnPSZ2vANmeYyZGjyWQzimmL_bvQWH?usp=sharing
- Inkjet or Laser printer
- 110-lb. white cardstock. Shop, Michael’s, JOANN’s, or Office Depot for DEI-friendly options. NOTE: Consumers printers may struggled to pick up and use 110-lb. paper. If you have an “economical” printer, stick to 80-lb. paper.
- Scissors to cut out your printed cards.
- A pen to write your message.
- A First Class USPS postage stamp (or appropriate postage for your country).
When printing:
- If your duplex printer struggles with cardstock or if your printer does not have duplex functions, print page 1, flip it according to your printer’s instructions, and then print page 2.
- Do not “Fit to Page” but set your document to print “Actual Size.”
- Templates include both Microsoft Word, PDF, and PNG versions of postcards.
Messages
Things you can write on your postcard:
- Trans Rights Are Human Rights
- Black Lives Matter
- Diversity, Equality, Inclusion
- (Any of this regime’s newly banned words)
- You Are Not A King
- America Has No King
- Tell President Musk We Don’t Like Him, Either!
- Putin Invaded Ukraine.
- USA for Ukraine
- Thank Ukraine for Fighting Tyranny
Never stop fighting!! We have a couple weeks to get our postcards printed and ready to send. Then, all we have to do on March 15 is drop it off at the post office or a mailbox. We can do this! Everything counts.
